The current challenge at Try it on Tuesday is Christmas Sparkle and who doesn't like a bit of sparkle at Christmas.

I couldn't resist the new Poinsettia 3D Embossing folder from Tim Holtz as I've seen some fabulous cards using it, but I opted for a fairly simple version - swiping the flat surface of the folder with Speckled egg DI and using linen card.  I used a red and green gilding wax, rubbed with my finger to colour the flowers and leaves and added gold fine glitter to the centre and for some for some extra sparkle, my base lay.er was white glitter card.  A difficult card to photograph with the shine from the waxes and glitter.

You still have another week to enter the challenge and all the details can be found here

Thanks for calling in,
